IBM has just filed a patent for bionic body armor. Will it, in fact, protect the wearer against bullets? No doubt, we appreciated when Neo dodged shotgun shells in The Matrix, but to do it, more often than not, may be a far-fetched dream. Got to think seriously about it! After scanning the area for incoming projectiles, the activated muscle simulators would move the person out of harm’s way. Now, how effective is the principle it would work on? Not always, necessarily, you get a reaction-time. So, taking an evasive action against an approaching bullet…is it possible?
